Hi everybody!
I’m out of the Deadline Closet (or, more specifically, my favorite booth at Panera Bread) and back among the living for a few days because last night I turned in the very first (and VERY rough) first draft of Heist Society 3 (title & release date TBA).
What does this mean? Well, my editor will read the book and give me notes on what is–and isn’t–working and then I’ll do a second draft. And a third. And a fourth. And on and on until the book is ready for the world to see. (Hopefully all this can be accomplished in time to release the book sometime in early 2013.)
In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy my post deadline day with some post deadline rituals.
Like laundry.
And going to the grocery store.
And taking naps.
And watching movies.
And maybe even vacuuming my living room (if I’m feeling REALLY crazy).
I’m so incredibly grateful to Molly for coming on board and doing so many great, fun things to keep this blog active while I’ve been working on the book. Isn’t she doing a great job, guys? Because I think she’s doing a great job.
And thanks to all of you for embracing all the new contests and activities.
Just in case you haven’t yet checked it out, remember TheGallagherAcademy.com is now open for business and features never before seen short stories from the points of view of Cammie’s friends and even Zach.
Oh, and you can READ THE FIRST CHAPTER OF GG5 right here. Yes, here.
Thanks again, everyone. And have a great day!
Ally
Can’t wait until heist society 3 !!!
Ally, Ally, I’m not sure whether to love you or hate you. Because I now have to wait for the rest! At least I get somethingβ¦ THANK YOU!
Yay, Ally!!!!! Have fun writing and cleaning and whatnot. Meanwhile, I’m anxiously waiting for March 13.
Yeah, Molly’s doing an amazing job. Thank you, Molly, keep up the good work! And since I’m not that into the Heist Society series, that’s all I have to say…
*Viva La Gallagher Girls!*
I have died…. because the first chapter killed me…
I wonder where the alpine convent is located.. And who is Cammie going to call(Zach???)
Oh… i want to read the book!!!
are the short stories on Gallagheracademy.com part of book 5 or are they separate?
Ally! Ally! Ally!!!
You are amazing OUT OF SITE, OUT OF TIME-first chapter is super great, I was so sad it ended I didn’t want it to end. I am so hyped up for the book. The POV’s from the other characters always make up my day. I am also excited for H3, maybe Hale, name will be reveiled, this is probably not going to happen but a girl can hope-but no too much hope, hope can be a spy, weakness…so hope on a rare occasion. Alright later Gallagher Girls and Blackthorne Boys [if their are any if they are you guys would be pretty cool in my book, if that matters.] Oh by the way if I haven’t metion it yet thanks Ally and Molly you guys are great.

Ally!
The first books of yours I read were the Gallagher Girls. Then I got so obsessed after I reread them like the 3rd time that I visited your website and saw you had another series. I read the Heist Society and was almost speechless. I hadn’t thought you could write another series as good as the Gallagher Girls. But, you did.

This is kinda random but did Macey quit smoking? because wasn’t she smoking in GG1?
Ah! Thanks Ally! I was so excited to read the first chapter! And when she found out what day it was, I freaked out because she woke up on my birthday! So exciting! π
maybe she’ll cal macey since her parents have an ice fortress there.(remember at the end of GG4?)
good question, did macey quit smoking?
I LOVE it! Can’t wait to read the book.

*SCREAM* I just read the first chapter and it is to die for! I wish March 13 didn’t seem so far away. I already pre-ordered the book and can’t wait to get it.
